Ultimate Flexural Capacity of a Severely Damaged Reinforced Concrete T-Girder Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Rational and precise evaluation for ultimate flexural capacity is essential for accurate prediction of the safety margin and overload capacity of existing bridges. One of the spans of a 28- year-old distressed simply ... -
Novel Virtual Simply Supported Beam Method for Detecting the Speed and Axles of Moving Vehicles on Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)One of the major drawbacks with most bridge weigh-in-motion (BWIM) methods that adopt the Moses algorithm is the need for acquisition of vehicle speed and axle spacing by using additional devices, such as free-of-axle ... -
Simplified Expression of Hydrodynamic Pressure on Deepwater Cylindrical Bridge Piers during Earthquakes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017) -
Degradation of Mechanical Behavior of Corroded Prestressing Wires Subjected to High-Cycle Fatigue Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This paper presents an experimental investigation of the degradation of the mechanical behavior of corroded prestressing wires under high-cycle fatigue loading. To quantify the influence of corrosion degree, stress range, ... -
Thermo-Structural Response of Highway Bridge Structures with Tub Girders and Plate Girders
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Fires from vehicular accidents involving heavy-goods vehicles (HGVs) pose a significant threat to steel plate girder highway bridges. The complete immersion of plate girders in flames resulting in excessive girder element ... -
Cyclic Behavior of Corroded Reinforced Concrete Bridge Piers

Crack Propagation and Control in Concentric Posttensioned Anchorage Zones
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)In past decades, significant progress has been made in prediction of the behavior of posttensioned anchorage zones. An aspect that has not been sufficiently cleared up yet, however, is the service behavior of posttensioned ... -
Elastic-to-Plastic Strut-and-Tie Model for Concentric Anchorage Zones
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The strut-and-tie model (STM) has been adopted as a preferred methodology for the design of disturbed regions; however, an aspect that has not yet been sufficiently cleared up is the service behavior of structural concrete ... -
Bayesian Model Updating and Its Limitations for Detecting Local Damage of an Existing Truss Bridge

Improved 2D-Grid Construction Analysis of Curved and Skewed Steel I-Girder Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Structural analysis methods for steel I-girder bridges can be grouped in three categories: 1D line-girder, 2D-grid, and 3D finite-element analysis. This paper discusses the qualities and limitations of these techniques, ... -
Resilient Bridge Rocking Columns with Polyurethane Damage-Resistant End Segments and Replaceable Energy-Dissipating Links
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This paper introduces a novel low-damage bridge column design for accelerated bridge construction (ABC) in seismic areas. The proposed design integrates (1) polyurethane (PU) damage-resistant segments at the column ends ... -
Modeling the Shear Connection in Adjacent Box-Beam Bridges with Ultrahigh-Performance Concrete Joints. I: Model Calibration and Validation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Recent research on ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) for connection elements in highway bridges indicates an improvement in the performance of the overall bridge superstructure. However, there is limited information ... -
Load Redistribution and Remaining Fatigue Life of Steel Built-Up Members Subjected to Flexure Following a Component Failure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Built-up steel girders have been shown to be resistant to total member collapse in the event that a single component fails from brittle fracture or from fatigue. However, accurate methods to determine the remaining capacity ... -
Experimental Investigations on the Nonlinear Torsional Flutter of a Bridge Deck
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The nonlinear flutter featured by the limit cycle oscillation (LCO) is a typical aeroelastic phenomenon for bluff decks and/or streamlined decks at large incidence angles. In this study, the flutter characteristics of a ... -
Vibration-Based Damage Detection of Bridges under Varying Temperature Effects Using Time-Series Analysis and Artificial Neural Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Structural health monitoring (SHM) has become a very important research area for evaluating the performances of bridges. An important issue with continuous SHM and damage detection of bridges is the effects of temperature ... -
Performance Comparison between Passive Negative-Stiffness Dampers and Active Control in Cable Vibration Mitigation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The installation of dampers close to cable anchorages is a common approach for stay-cable vibration mitigation. Inspired by the force-deformation relationship produced by actively controlled dampers, passive negative-stiffness ... -
Transverse Analysis of a Prestressed Concrete Wide Box Girder with Stiffened Ribs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)For concrete box girders with wide flanges, a ribbed slab can increase the cantilever length and transverse stiffness while reducing the dead weight of the deck. For single box girder bridges with a large width-to-span ...
